International Grade Converter

Convert any grade across six major international grading systems in one click. Input US 4.0, percentage, letter grade, India 10.0, UK Honours or IB — get five simultaneous equivalents for applications and transcripts.

For planning, not official use. Universities require formal credential evaluations (WES, ECE, Scholaro) for admissions. This converter helps you check whether your grades broadly meet thresholds before you pay for one.

Global Grade Converter

Fill optional student profile, pick your grading system, enter one grade, and see it translated across five international standards.

Student profile (optional)
Your grade
Select your current grading system then enter the grade. For letter grades, type A, B+, C− etc. UK Honours works only as an output — use percentage or 10.0 for UK input.
Enter a number between 0.0 and 4.0

What this converter does

One input → five global equivalents.

US 4.0 GPA

Percentage

Universal 0–100% scale.

Letter grade

A+ through F with +/− variants.

10.0 CGPA

India, China and similar.

Two worked examples

Common conversion paths & one-click demos

Two real scenarios students use this tool for — an Indian student applying to the US, and a US student applying to the UK — with the exact math and one-click examples you can load directly.

Indian student → US application

10.0 CGPA to 4.0 GPA

User case

A Delhi University graduate has an 8.5 CGPA on the Indian 10-point scale and is applying to US master's programs. What does that translate to on the American 4.0 GPA scale?

How it converts

10.0 CGPA → (10.0 ÷ 10.0) × 100 = 85% normalized
85% → (85 ÷ 100) × 4.0 = 3.40 US GPA
85% → Letter grade B, UK Upper Second (2:1)

Who uses it

  • Indian students applying to US / Canadian graduate schools
  • Resume writers converting CGPA to GPA for international CVs

US student → UK application

4.0 GPA to UK Honours class

User case

A Boston University senior has a 3.8 GPA on the American 4.0 scale and is applying to UK postgraduate programs. Does this qualify for First Class Honours equivalence?

How it converts

3.8 GPA → (3.8 ÷ 4.0) × 100 = 95% normalized
95% → Letter grade A, 9.50 on the 10.0 scale
95% → First Class Honours (1st) in the UK

Who uses it

  • American students applying to Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, etc.
  • UK applicants reverse-converting Firsts to GPA for US schools

What this converter does, and what it doesn't — no fine print.

What this converter does

  • Converts grades across 6 input systems and 5 output systems simultaneously
  • Uses standard WES / Fulbright-compatible linear mapping logic
  • Handles letter-grade inputs with common midpoint mappings
  • Runs entirely in your browser — no data leaves the page

What this converter does not do

  • Does not replace official credential evaluations (WES, ECE, Scholaro)
  • Does not account for university-specific conversion formulas
  • Does not model difficulty grading, curves or class-rank adjustments
  • Does not handle total IB diploma points (use subject scores individually)
Conversion tips

Get more accurate equivalents

Six practical tips that produce better conversion estimates than raw input alone.

Use percentage when you can

If your transcript shows both a letter grade and the underlying percentage, always input the percentage. A "B+" at one university might be 87% while another uses 89% — entering the exact percentage gives the cleanest conversion.

Check UK pass thresholds

UK universities pass students at 40%, not 50% or 60%. A UK "Third" (40–49%) is still a passing degree. When converting UK grades to other systems, remember that lower UK percentages don't mean failure.

For IB, use subject scores

IB Diploma total points (out of 45) combine six subject scores plus up to 3 core points. This converter handles the per-subject 1–7 scale — enter individual subject scores rather than the total diploma score for clean conversions.

Verify against your target school

Before relying on a conversion for an application, check the receiving university's published equivalence table. Top UK schools often want a 3.7+ US GPA for First Class equivalence, not the 3.0 that raw linear mapping suggests.

Use for CVs, not applications

This converter is ideal for putting "3.8 / 4.0 GPA equivalent" on your international CV. For formal applications, pay for a WES, ECE or Scholaro evaluation — universities require the official document.

Round for readability

When writing your converted GPA on a CV, round to two decimal places (e.g., 3.40, not 3.40312). Three or more decimals look suspicious on transcripts and rarely match what an official evaluation would report.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about grade conversion across international scales.

Understanding conversions

Roughly yes. A 10.0 in India or China typically represents the highest possible grade, just as a 4.0 does in the US. However, a 7.0/10 might convert to a 2.8 or 3.0 GPA depending on the specific university's scale. This converter uses linear mapping for planning — official evaluations may differ.
A First Class Honours (1st) is the highest undergraduate grade in the UK system, roughly equivalent to a US GPA of 3.7–4.0, an A letter grade, or 90–100% on a percentage scale. This converter maps anything at or above 70% to First Class based on standard UK classification thresholds.
UK and US grading cultures differ fundamentally. In the UK, 70%+ is considered exceptional work — very few students score above 80%. In the US, A grades are awarded more frequently. The converter normalizes for this by mapping UK classification bands to their academic-equivalent positions rather than raw percentages.
Letter grades are inherently fuzzy — a B+ at one university may be 87% while another uses 89%. This converter uses common midpoints (A=95, A-=91, B+=88, B=85, etc.) to produce a reasonable estimate. For precise conversion, input the actual percentage score behind your letter grade if available.

Using the converter

This tool is for estimation and planning purposes only. For official university applications you will typically need a formal credential evaluation from services like WES, ECE, Scholaro, or the receiving university itself. Use this converter to check whether your grades broadly meet thresholds before paying for an official evaluation.
Yes — select the IB (1–7) scale as your input system and enter your subject score. The converter maps it linearly across the 1–7 range. Note that total IB Diploma points (out of 45) use a different system combining six subjects plus core — use the individual subject scores here for conversion.
Yes. Enter any score including failing grades — the converter will map it appropriately across scales. Note that failing thresholds vary by country (for example, below 40% is a fail in the UK, below 60% in the US). The UK output column reflects this difference.
No. Every conversion runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to or stored on any server. Use the Download Report button if you want a local record for your CV or application folder.
